Lyrics

Las Vegas

Las Vegas

A glowin town, greets my eyes
As the plane sets down, ohh the sound
Of spinning slots, cheer as apricots
On a strip--or whats left of it
Of the town I cherished long ago

Desert wind sweeps the sand
As it burns my skin, stroll on in
Make a bet, on the Vegas I knew once had been
Never more, not again
It's all come to an end

CHORUS:
The fun, the sleeze, the MOB is gone
But corporate greed is growing strong
Lets put her back where she belongs
LAS VEGAS
A toast for kids in shopping malls
The rollercoasters don't belong
Lets put her back where she belongs
LAS VEGAS


History-wild and free
Renovated quietly
In the night, pull the plug boy
Douce the light
Move along, progress calls
But it's not without a price

CHORUS II
The fun, the sleeze, the MOB is gone
But corporate greed is growing strong
Lets put her back where she belongs
LAS VEGAS
Bobby Gare rest in peace
Liberachi never seen
A cloud of mediocrite
LAS VEGAS
Now Sammy, Frank, and Dean are gone
But new construction rages on
Lets put her back where she belongs
LAS VEGAS
Population climbing fast
To be here used to be gas
But that was in the distant past
LAS VEGAS

BRIDGE
Gone are the days
Of the cheap mile long buffets
Cocktails for two--out by the pool Me and You
It's all been sanitized
And likewise commercialized

Repeat Chorus II (fade out)
